Overview
A false flag is any operation carried out in such a way that it appears to have been perpetrated by a different government (under a "false flag").
In the years after the 9/11 attacks, the term has been increasingly used to refer to any deadly event, not necessarily directly perpetrated by the "flagging" government but possibly merely encouraged or permitted by them, and then carefully blamed on a particular target (government or other threat) so as to build domestic support for a war on the blamed party. In this usage, it is basically a frameup.
